The crazy sales of Wu Wang Zui and the huge wealth brought by it have undoubtedly made many people jealous, but with the five princes Li Min and Li Xiaogong covering them, anyone who wants to take advantage of Wu Wang Zui’s interests must consider the serious consequences afterwards.

The consequences, but there are always people who can't see the form clearly and insist on joining in to make fun of it.

A few days ago, Prince Li Chengqian came to Li Min and others and expressed his willingness to invest in the brewery. After all, the scale of his prince's palace is several times larger than Li Min's Prince Liang's palace. The expenses in all aspects are greater, and life in the palace is also tight.

, how could he not be jealous when he saw his two younger brothers fishing for gold at home every day?

Regarding Li Chengqian's plan to take advantage, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong expressed their rejection on the spot. No matter what Li Chengqian said, it was useless. In the end, Li Chengqian was so angry that he walked away. Before leaving, he glared at the two brothers Li Min and Li Ke.

, which made them extremely depressed. It was clear that the King of Hejian and the King of Jiangxia disagreed, but their brothers never said a word of objection. How did it end up making Li Chengqian hate him instead?

However, no matter how dissatisfied Li Chengqian is, there is nothing he can do against Li Min and the other five. In the end, he can only sulk. After all, the combined energy of these five people is no longer something that anyone can compete with alone. Even

Neither could he, the crown prince, unless Li Shimin personally ordered them to hand over the interests of Wu Wang Zui as the emperor, which of course was unlikely to happen.

Next to a large lake in the backyard of Prince Liang's Mansion, a rockery was hidden among the branches and leaves of the surrounding tall trees. Li Min was lying comfortably in the pavilion on the rockery, rocking the rocking chair under him, enjoying the breeze blowing from the lake.

The cool breeze came, and Wen'er and Hua'er beside him brought cut fruits to their mouths from time to time. Eating the delicious fruits and admiring the graceful figures of Wen'er and Hua'er beside him, Li Min couldn't help but scream in his heart

:This is the life I ideally pursue!

July is about to enter now, and the Guanzhong area has suddenly become hot. According to Li Min's estimation, it is at least above 30 degrees. In this hot weather, everyone has become a little lazy, if not

In order to wait for Niu Jinda and other meritorious generals to return to Chang'an, Li Shimin also went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat.

Li Min was not a dedicated person to begin with. He had already left all the affairs of the Supervision Institute and the Cement Industry Association to Li Yifu, a coolie. Now that the weather is hot, he simply doesn't even go to work and stays at home every day.

Enjoy the coolness. Li Yifu also figured out Li Min's lazy temperament, so he took care of all the big and small things for him. Unless he encountered something particularly important, he would go to Li Min's house to ask for instructions.

Li Min was very satisfied when he met a subordinate who was so attentive to his boss's wishes. He even patted Li Yifu privately and said that sooner or later, he, the prince, would have to serve in other places, and the cement supervisor's position would definitely be handed over to him.

As long as Li Yifu can maintain its current status, Li Min will definitely recommend him to succeed him and become the second cement inspector.

How could such a shrewd person like Li Yifu fail to see this? He also heard Li Min's personal assurance that he usually worked even harder, and even had a record of eating and living in the supervising building for several days, so he persisted despite the scorching heat.

A good official in his position will naturally be praised by countless cement manufacturers.

The construction of two cement trunk roads starting from Chang'an has begun. Tens of thousands of people are working day and night to level the roads. After compacting them with large rocks, under the command of the craftsmen, the mixed concrete will be poured to the ground and flattened. After a few days,

Can leave.

Now the first-level cement plants have almost been built. For example, the local factory in Chang'an has burned out cement and begun to supply the construction of two roads. Those farther away from Chang'an have already sent craftsmen to guide them, and it is estimated that it will take another ten days.

It can be completed in half a month. However, even if the construction of these large cement plants is completed, the craftsmen sent out after supervising the construction will not have time to come back. They have to rush to the second-tier cement manufacturers immediately. Some cement plants are not close to Chang'an.

The farthest one is even located in Songzhou, which has just gone through a war. It is estimated that it will take at least half a year for the craftsmen there to return.

But even so, Bai Qing's craftsmen have no complaints at all. They are subsidized when they go out to do errands, and the farther they go, the higher the subsidy. Calculating a month's subsidy, it is at least several times their monthly salary.

Some even reach more than ten times. It can be said that one month of going out is almost equal to the previous year's salary, so many people are rushing to go. However, those who can be sent out to guide factory construction must have passed the assessment.

Craftsmen, and the assessment is very strict. Bai Qing has a huge workshop with thousands of people in charge, and only dozens of people are qualified in the end. The shortage of manpower has seriously slowed down the construction of cement plants everywhere, but Bai Qing's

We are already training craftsmen, and they will be able to use it after a while after passing the test. By then, the construction speed of the cement plant will definitely be greatly accelerated, and the road construction will definitely not be held back due to insufficient cement production.

"Your Highness, that Miss Wang is here again!" Just as Li Min was comfortably enjoying the beautiful and luxurious life of the ancient nobles, he suddenly heard Wen'er reporting in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Li Min opened his eyes helplessly and took a look. He found that it was indeed Wang Xijun, the little girl, walking along the path on the rockery towards the pavilion. She couldn't hide away. Last time, she tried to save Li Min from fighting against her.

Her father, Wang Zihao, trusted her so much that he even risked his life to feed the tiger and wanted to give him to Li Min as a slave. However, she didn't expect that Li Min had no intention of going into the matter in the first place, so she made a huge mistake.

Originally, Li Min thought that after this incident, Wang Xijun would never be embarrassed to see him again. After all, this was too big a mistake. In this feudal society where men and women were guarded against each other, a girl put down all her self-esteem and cried.

He wanted to give himself away, but the other girl didn't accept it. If this happened to other girls, they would probably even want to die.

However, Wang Xijun's thinking was obviously different from others. She took the initiative to find Li Min the next day. She said that she did not believe what Li Min said to her father yesterday and did not believe that he could still trust her father as before. After all, her father

Although there was a reason for what she did, it was still an unforgivable betrayal for Li Min. So in order to reassure Li Min, she decided to voluntarily enter Li Min's house as a hostage, and she would never complain as a slave.

For this stubborn little girl, Li Min was speechless. After persuading her to no avail, she had no choice but to call Wang Zihao to lead her. But despite Wang Xijun's delicate and timid appearance, she was born with a bullish temper.

Even Wang Zihao couldn't do anything to her, no matter what he said, it was useless. For this daughter who only thought about her family, Wang Zihao was reluctant to hit or scold her. In the end, he just kicked the ball back. He didn't care about this daughter.

No more, let His Highness Prince Liang handle it yourself.

Li Min also had a headache. With his status, it was not a big deal to accept a maid. But after all, Wang Zihao was his capable subordinate. It would definitely be inappropriate to accept someone else's daughter as a slave. If he adopted her as a concubine,

Concubine, the identity of Wang Xijun is quite suitable. But as a modern person, Li Min has no emotional basis. Let’s not talk about it. Wang Xijun keeps saying that he is a hostage. If he accepts her as a concubine at this time, he will always have a feeling.

The feeling of taking advantage of others' danger. Although Li Min's character is not very good, and he would not take the initiative to help an old woman cross the road when he saw her on the street, but he is still very gentlemanly towards girls, especially beautiful girls, and takes advantage of others' danger.

This kind of thing will definitely not be done.

When this matter came to an end, Li Min could only come up with a compromise. Wang Xijun did not have to enter the palace to be a slave. But if Wang Xijun wanted to follow him every day, Li Min would not stop her. The door of the palace would be open for her at any time.

With that, she could come whenever she wanted. She could go anywhere in the palace without any hindrance, even Li Min's bedroom was no exception.

Regarding Li Min's proposal, Wang Xijun thought about it again and again, and finally agreed. After all, she was not very young, and she had a mother and a younger brother at home. If she became a slave in Li Min's house, let alone go home to visit her mother.

She was not even allowed to leave the house. If she followed Li Min's proposal, she could stay with Li Min as a hostage during the day and go home at night. It was a good way to kill two birds with one stone, so there would be more around Li Min.

A nondescript 'maid', but Li Min soon regretted his decision.

On the contrary to Li Min's lack of professionalism, Wang Xijun can be said to be a role model who loves what she does. She came to Li Min's house early on the third day. She positioned herself as a maid like Wen'er and Hua'er, and she did everything.

They all rushed to do it. Li Min got up in the morning and got dressed, but she rushed to serve him, and ended up wearing the clothes inside out; when Li Min washed his face, she brought water, but it splashed all over Li Min; when Li Min had breakfast, she stood there drooling,

After asking, I found out that Miss Wang had come in a hurry in the morning and didn't even have time to eat.

This Miss Wang is not like professional maids like Wen'er and Hua'er. She came from a wealthy family since she was a child. Although she had a hard time because of Li Min, it was only relatively speaking. She has never been without maids around her.

Waiting, where can I do such work of waiting on people? But Wang Xijun didn't have this consciousness. She rushed to do everything, but couldn't do anything well. Not long after she arrived, she had already broken two flower pots.

Five vases and a dozen tea bowls.

What's even more annoying is that yesterday, because the weather was too hot, Li Min wanted to take some ice and make some rock sugar mung bean soup to relieve the heat. Miss Wang didn't know how to make soup, but she had to chill the soup after it was boiled, so she grabbed it again

He immediately went out and ran to the ice cellar to get ice. But the soup had become cold by itself, and he didn't wait until Wang Xijun came to get ice.

Li Min felt something was wrong and went to the ice cellar to take a look. He found Miss Wang squatting in the ice cellar in thin clothes and almost frozen. Li Min was so frightened that she hurriedly carried her back and drank two bowls.

Hot soup can help you relax.

Later, Li Min figured out why Miss Wang went into the ice cellar wearing a thin summer dress. It turned out that this disheveled young lady only knew how to go to the ice cellar to get ice, but she completely forgot about the temperature in the ice cellar.

She didn't feel the cold until she got inside. Of course, it wouldn't be too late if she went back to get clothes at this time, but Wang Xijun, who was very nervous, obviously overestimated her ability to withstand the cold, thinking that she could just get out with a piece of ice. As long as she was faster, it should be fine.

It turns out that the consequence of this "nothing" is that if Li Min goes later, Wang Xijun will really become an "iceberg beauty".

After listening to Wang Xijun's explanation, Li Min was almost furious on the spot. He had seen mentally retarded people, but no one was as mentally retarded as her. Do you think you are a legendary martial arts master who can withstand the cold and heat? Li Min was furious. Zhen no longer cared about his identity and scolded Wang Xijun. Miss Wang also knew that she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and remained pitifully silent.

Li Min returned the scolding, and after scolding, he asked the imperial doctor in the palace to take Wang Xijun's pulse. After making sure that nothing was wrong, he asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a medicine to dispel cold, and then ordered Wang Xijun to be sent back to the palace, and She was strictly ordered to rest at home for a few more days, but she didn't expect that just one night and morning later, Wang Xijun came again.
